KBR Digital is a translation, localization, and book services provider based in South Carolina, specializing in titles published within the Amazon ecosystem.
Founded in 2009 by Noga and Alan Sklar, KBR was a pioneer in the Brazilian digital book market. By publishing eBooks before Brazil had established virtual bookstores for digital titles, the company led the way in early eBook adoption and Amazon integration.
In 2014, the couple moved to the United States, where Noga acquired citizenship. Adapting to the new environment, KBR successfully pursued the publication of foreign titles whose translation was sponsored by their countries of origin, including Austria, Switzerland, and Brazil. Meanwhile, Noga established a distinguished career as a professional translator, working with brands such as Harley-Davidson, Pfizer, Mastercard, Microsoft, Amazon, and Circle, among several others.
For her first six years in her new homeland, Noga also dedicated herself to honing her English skills. Upon achieving excellence, she transitioned into writing exclusively in English, while maintaining her critical views and sharp powers of observation. Her latest book, 1000 Days in Gaza, stands as a testament to this mastery.
Today, KBR leverages this extensive history into "KBR Express" — a new proposition designed to transform every writer into a high-level professional, which, at the same time, frees authors from the typical limitations of self-publishing and AI-constricted templates.
KBR's core commitment is to ensure authors retain full control of their work. From selecting specific services to the final "KBR's full-brand experience," authors are supervised by Noga through every step of the KDP publishing process. Furthermore, authors publish using their own accounts, ensuring they retain 100% of their royalties.
Noga Sklar, CEO and chief editor of KBR Digital, is a book and cover designer, writer, and professional translator. Born in Tiberias, Israel, she lived for many years in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil a city she later left to take refuge with her husband, Alan, in a mountain paradise amid the Atlantic Forest.
Her encounter with Alan Sklar gave new impetus to her life and literary career. Based on their online interactions and the emails the couple exchanged, Noga wrote her best-selling novel No Degrees of Separation — a passionate diary described by the writer and psychoanalyst Ana Cecilia Carvalho as a modern Song of Songs.
As an editor and publisher, Noga runs her company with personal care, investing her energy in a growing catalog of more than 200 titles across various segments and several languages.
An American citizen since 2016, Noga lives in South Carolina, and in the last few years, has been dedicating herself to supporting other authors in their quest for literary excellence.
